Safety Tips

Electric Space Heaters-

Buy only heaters evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Check to make sure it has a thermostat control mechanism, and will switch off automatically if the heater falls over.

Heaters are not dryers or tables; don’t dry clothes or store objects on top of your heater.
